Are you the one who has zero knowledge of sewing yet you drool over every other diy sewing project??

Next this is done lay out the fabric on a smooth surface and place the cushion in the center now you could either roughly cut the fabric leaving 3,4 inches on all four sides* (If you`re making a square cushion).

Ever heard of string art? I'm sure you did it’s the best diy activity plus pinterest is drooling all over with it, so I thought why not give it a try and share it with all of you guys .. Here are some quick fun facts I learned about string art; it was introduced in the early 19th century by an English woman who used this technique to teach math to the kids.  A French mathematician, Pierre Bézier, created a curve formula using string art to help solve complex equations. It is still used in computer graphics and related fields, known as Bézier curve.   the popularity of string art reached its peak in the 70's when every household used to have a string art picture on their walls. And yet several decades later the art has reemerged on the internet with more variety, intricacy and has opened doors for future artist's.                                               ...

Geometrical Designs by Eshal Salman

This corona virus has me and my 8 years old twin sisters sitting at home so we took some art classes, there the lady was pretty nice and she gave us some tips and tricks on how to make geometrical designs. I had compass, protractor, scale, pencil, colors, and papers, from which we made these awesome design. We only used geometrical tools to make geometrical designs. We took 3 to 4 combination of colors or you can do pastel colors and color the whole design.  It was a soothing experience as we colored in the different shapes. My sisters and I enjoyed it a lot and hope you’ll too.  It would be a great pleasure if you try and share your designs with me in the comment section. Article by Eshal Salman
